Well, as it happens, my favorite solo appears in a non-prog work. My favorite solo is the guitar solo in Judas Priest's "Painkiller". Since it's not a prog piece, I will refrain from commenting on it.

Some quality keyboard solos that come to mind within prog rock:
 
Antonio Pagliuca (Le Orme) - La Porta Chiusa (Hammond)
Manfred Mann (Uriah Heep) - July Morning (Moog)
Robert Fripp (King Crimson) - In the Wake of Poseidon (Mellotron: brass tapes)
Flavio Premoli (PFM) - Dove...Quando Part I (Piano)
John Evans (Jethro Tull) - Quartet (Hammond and Moog)
David Sinclair (Caravan) - Nine Feet Underground (Organ)
Martin Orford (IQ) - Further Away (Roland?)
 
mandatory:  okay, it wouldn't be right if I didn't mention the "big three"
 
Banks - distorted organ solo in The Musical Box...okay and the one in The Fountain of Salmacis too
Wakeman - all of 'em on GFtO, and I especially like the Moog and Tron on The Revealing...
Emo - Take a Pebble (Piano) and Hoedown (Moog and Hammond)

David Gilmour playing Comfortably Numb live in Pulse album. John Petrucci's work comes very close in Dream Theatre's new albums.

I seriously believe this is a Freudian slip. LOLWink "Strange King of Woman" is a male fantasy; you probably mean "Strange Kind of Woman"

Mine is fripps solo on 21st century schizoid man. That is a solo! Firth or fith is one killer solo too, but I tend to lean toward more bizarre sounding music, hence, my obsession with robert fripp's guitar technique. Let us also remember steve howe's kick ass solo on sound chaser from relayer!

Machine gun has one hell of a solo! I love the part where jimi holds a really long sustain, so long it becomes almost unbearable, then he finally lets off. It's freakin awesome! That's one of my hendrix favourites. 'midnight' is good too...it's an instrumental on war heroes I think. That one contains some dangerous sonic explosions as well!

missed this earlier.... oh yeah... a HUGE fan hahahha.  The slide solo on Dreams... complete Eargasm. hahhaha  you are right though.. they all were brilliant.  How about those dueling guitar solos he had with Clapton on 'Key to the Highway' off of the Layla album.... complete EARGASM hahha.

 People talk about Gilmours solos... pfff...  Duane had a soul that Gilmour couldn't touch.

omg, don't get me started on the Dominoes...I was cold toward that album for a while but Duane's playing absolutely carries that album, imo he steals the show...noone's playing could've brought out such emotion with the what Clapton was going through at the time.  His slide work on Layla is a tear-jerker (and then you get that closing song...here's a grown man with a lump in his throat).  It's one of the true rock n roll tragedies that Duane had to pass away, he could've done so many more great things.

damn right his playing carries it Clap.  It really was a tragedy,  what an incredible talent he was..  in fact, the only thing RS nailed on that damn 100 greatest guitarist list they did a few years ago was having Duane at #2.

Neil Peart's Solo O' Bateria that he played on the Rush in Rio album
1 Chronicles 13:7-9

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

I have to agree with the spine chilling solo of "Comfortably Numb" on the Pulse album. Simply amazing!
